In this paper, we take a critical perspective on the common regulatory reply to deal with call termination on mobile networks. The current policy tendency to deal with fixed-to-mobile call termination is to restrict attention to the defined relevant market (call termination on single networks is...

This article studies the impact of regulatory uncertainty on an incumbent’s incentives to undertake the socially optimal investments in NGA networks. Thus, a regulatory non-commitment setting in which the regulator sets the access price after the deployment of the NGA network is used. In...
